5. Suppose that every three months, on average, an earthquake occurs in a certain region. Assuming this is a Poisson process, wh
at is the probability that the next earthquake occurs after three but before seven months?
1 answer:
Answer:
0.2709
Explanation:
Given that 1 earthquake occurs in 3 months
∴Number of earthquake that will occur in 1 month = 1 / 3
∴ The waiting time of the earthquake to occur can be shown as

And since it is a poisson distribution as mentioned, the waiting time is always exponential.
Now the probability of the next earthquake that will occur after three but before seven months is

= 
= 0.2709
∴ The probability of ht waiting time is 0.2709
